Yeah, a four day weekend. And with bad weather predicted,
the thought of going to the home of our friend, Lianne, in Great Barrington,
Mass, though in the landlocked Berkshires had a lot of appeal. Well, it turned out this was not a totally
waterless weekend, and the Fall weather in the mountains turned out a lot better than had been
forecast. We saw a play and a dance recital and climbed Monument Mountain, and
ate a lot of good food. And we met up with Rona, who got us out of Customs hell
in St Vincent's in the early spring of 2011 and hung with us in Bequia.
The watery part of the weekend took place on Monday, on
the way home. In the department of it's-a-small-world, it turns out that both
"Autumne Borne" with Dean and Susan living aboard, who we met while leaving Beaufort, SC in the spring of 2012, and "Teepee" with Manu and
Michelle living aboard (with their guest Colette) who we first met in St.
Martin in December, 2010 and several times since, were on opposites of the same
finger pier at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill Creek, where it flows eastbound
into the Hudson in Catskill, NY. Teepee, left, before her mast was stepped and Autumn Borne Right.
Hop-O-Nose, comes from a rock where the Catskill flows
into the Hudson, which was thought to look like a nose and from which the
native Americans dove into deep water on hot summer days.
There were seven of us so it was two trips in our car to
a nearby diner for a great lunch.
